Play point bundle nerf?

Prev1345
yzqvp8dxjy8s.png

They were galactic enhancement bundles and now they are galactic advancement bundles and don’t award energy. Did you guys just nerf this in the middle of an event with no warning? Tell me this was a mistake… this gonna make a lot of whales angry that had been hoarding points, myself included.

    Someone in the guild just confirmed it, and yeah, its the same (crystal, slicing mats, gear) except the energy to prevent GL farming I guess

    The energy was great even outside the GL Ticket farm

    EDIT: Oh they might've removed it because of Galactic Chase since it gave fleet energy, and they might bring the energy back after Chase ends

    As annoying as it is, it’d be nice to get confirmation that this may just be during galactic chase. Otherwise…. Yikes

    Bit of a low blow.

    I am all for rewarding whales with some sort of bonus.

    Sorry, whales on Android. Is that better? I’m pretty sure that’s the generally accepted nomenclature for people that spend on the game, no?

    Lol no, spending $50 or whatever to get 150 play points is nowhere near a "whale."

    150 play points is spending a bit over $100 actually

    Best exchange rate is $1 = 1.4 points

    $50 gets you 70 points. I gained about 12-15k points in the last 2.5 months. Does that count?

    Edit: how do you think whales get GLs with ult on day 1?

    Once again, still not a whale.

    You might want to look at the OP's screenshot again. It's not just about what you spend.

    Not trying to debate what is and what isn't considered a whale, just the value of 150 play points in USD

    Is the content of the pack unchanged apart from the energy? Seems a bit off to just get less in the pack all of a sudden.

    Side note, that points became available in NZ last month, but there was no SWGOH items to get, but these bundles are there now.

    I responded to you for the benefit of the person who liked your post because he doesn't understand that he is wrong.

    Yes. Other than 400 energy, you still get the mod slicing mats, crystals, gear

    I am OP, and the screenshot was to show the change in the bundles since both (e.g., the enhancement bundle, and the advancement bundle) and how I had redeemed the previous version and the new version today which indicates the change happened within the last few hours.

    What is happening?????

    Yes, I know that.

    Someone in the thread said this is unfair to whales. I pointed out that it affects more than just whales. You came in and tried to brag about how much money you spend and don't seem to understand that you can spend much less than a whale and still be affected.

    I can't even right now.

    "right now"

    My bad, obviously I’m a little aggravated at the situation so I was under the impression you were trolling and mocking me for implying that I was a whale.

    I agree that light spenders will also be affected but I do think the biggest impact is going to be on people who had been hoarding points which generally happens when you whale considering the low exchange rate. Thank you for clarifying.

    Wow. This one hurts CG. As a defender of your ways this one really is just completely out of touch. All the opportunities in the world to provide a heads up on this.

    I agree. It’s nice to see how some people can’t take not having something they thought they would always have.
    I've found this whole experience to be very enlightening.

    Thank you for evaluating. Your feedback is appreciated.

    It takes less than 30 minutes to setup bluestacks, iOS users can get these packs that way as well.
